Workshop Description
For those who already possess a basic understanding of copyright law, this workshop offers a closer look at the fair use defense and The TEACH Act. First, the workshop will report on recent research surveying fair use decisions that offers insight into how courts really evaluate the fair use factors when confronted with actual cases. In addition, the 9th Circuit’s recent decision in Perfect 10 v. Amazon.com, Google.com et al will be discussed. It provides an important reminder that fair use analysis is not to be approached in a formulaic manner but with the overriding goal of advancing creativity. Finally, The TEACH Act is now five years old. This workshop will also take a closer look at what we now know about its implementation and impact.

Technology Information
Sloan-C brings you the following technologies to provide an exciting experience during the workshop:
 Elluminate™ Live! ™ -- Elluminate’s powerful Live! software will take this workshop to a whole new level of interaction. Well suited for the classroom environment, Live! provides the flexibility our workshop needs, from a speaker delivering to hundreds of workshop participants, to multiple small discussion groups occurring in unison. Live! effectively delivers lecture-type speeches, while also having the ability to facilitate collaboration among many individuals. For more information about Elluminate™, please visit the Elluminate page in the Sloan-C Vendor Corner.
 Moodle -- Sloan-C will use an open-source learning management system called Moodle to administer the asynchronous component of the workshop. Sloan-C has found Moodle to provide a flexible and user-friendly set of asynchronous collaboration and learning tools. As with most open-source technologies, the Moodle software is free, making it a very cost-effective software package for any institution or company. We have found though that low-cost does not mean that you have to sacrifice quality. Moodle still provides a robust environment that is dynamic, interactive, and provides cross-platform learner access through a standard web browser.
